Los Angeles resident, Apartment Therapy reader and photographer Jena Ardell sent us a selection of her hazy, retro-tinged summer imagery, an appropriate fit for last month's arts and collections focus as well as being a colour inspiration source for this month's Room for Color contest...

Like what you see? Jena is a Los Angeles resident you can support directly via her Etsy store, with more of her photography at her portfolio site, Jenaardell.com
